I may write a script based on an updated rendering of "Network" with Michael Douglas in the lead standing at a scrutiny point in some obsure airport with a yellow color code on his BP, his shoes off, laptop out, belt buckle rolled down and a wand beeping at his groin grabbing the monitor on top of the x-ray machine, throwing it thru the metal detector and yelling "I'm mad as H*** and I'm not taking this anymore."
Quick cut to airports all around the country as the sheeple rise up and regain their dignity and right to express their frustration and anger at the charade that has cost them nothing but time and money.
The veil is lifting. We shall soon see the emperor's clothes.
